IMPROVEMENT IN BAG-HOLDERS.

TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Bo it known that I, L. II. GANO, of the 'city and county ofMilwztukee,'n.nd State of Wisconsin, have invented a new 1nd usefulImprovement in BegI-Ioldcrs; and I do hereby declare that the followingis zi. full, oleztr, and exact description thereof, which will enablethose skilled in the art to make and use the seme, reforcnC-e being hadto the accompanying drawings, forming. pnrt'of this specification, inwhich- Figure l is a. perspective view of the bugholder adjusted foruse.

Figure 2, al view of the holder 'folded up for transportation or to behung up.-

Siuiilztr letters of reference in enchof the figures indicateCorresponding parte.

The object of my invention is to enable one person, without other nid,to bug `min or other materiel in :tn expeditions manner. l

A is the platform; B, upright standard; C, adjustable rtrrn; D, jaws ofurin C rebuted; E, metal jews, nttucherl to jaws D, und fitting interebate in seine; F, ratchet support; G, ehtstic spring; I-I, joint,connecting erin C with standard B; I, joint connecting standard B tophttioim A; K, notches in stnndurd B, in which rests the foot of supportI?.

Operai-ion..

.First adjust the machine for use by depressing erin C, placing the footof support F in the lower notch on standard B; then attach the mouth ofthe beg to jnws by ineens of mete-l jews E, which are to be inside ofthe mouth of the beg, and holding it firm-ly in the-rebate of jews D.Then fill the bog to the top in thut position. Then mise the jaws D tillthe bug is ex tended to its full height,-witb its lower end on theplatform A. In lifting jaws D :trui C turns on joint H, and the lowerend of support F, which is :tttnched to arm C at ite upper end by a.hinge, is held against standard B by spring G, so that it catches innotches K, and supports verm C et, any point required, to accommodateany length of bag.

When the bug-holder is not in use it maybe folded up, :ts shown in iig.2, by turning arm C on joint ,il over to the back side of standard B,joint H boing mede, by :Jslot on the end of a-rm C, long-enough to letthe :mn pass over the standard, and connected by a bolt.- Platform A isfolded beck on joint I in same manner,

which folds the beg-holder into a. compnet form to be moved from oneplace to another, or hung up out of the wey.

What I claim as myv invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is- 1. Platform A, upright standard B, and adjustable erm C, incombination, to fold up substantially as and for the purpose described.l

2. Arm C, with jews D, metal jews E, support F, and spring G, incombination substantially es and for the purpose described.
